Lockdown Diaries- Nature is healing

I was sitting in my chamber and few customers came to me for help. The times were testing as we were facing the wrath of mother nature. It was serious business in front of me but the mind was not allowing me to work religiously. Somehow i serviced the customers in anger and let myself pacify.

 How has this anger , anxiety and rage crept in me. I was cool as cucumber but it seems lockdown blues have started showing its signs. It is indeed the best time to go back to my writing skills. As we enter into the Lockdown 4.0, it is the time for penning down my thoughts and experiences about the lockdown hereon daily basis. I may be a bit late but as we say a stitch in time saves nine, i begin by my experiences and challenges I met with so far. 

The March end brought with it the first instalment of lockdown and for me initially I was unable to understand the seriousness of the issue. As we passed through the first phase I was exuberant about the fact that the corona virus in India shall not spread too much. This confidence was coming primarily from the media and some half baked truths about the virus. In fact in my workplace certain ladies got actually quite conscious about this and that too very early. I could see the meticulous approach of these women about handling the virus infection and the precautionary measure they were taking. While some were adamant about the percentage of alcohol in sanitizer to be more than 70 %, the others were taking precautions about opening and closing the doors in the safest manner. I had been noticing this and was thinking if it was so scary. 

Being in a family with medicos around, I was getting the daily updates about the virus spread and its impact. The research on the topic was on going and so it was baffling even for them to explain the virus symptoms and the measures to be taken for its control. The social distancing was trending everywhere and we started observing the same in our home. The two medicos started running from us and even i started running from my family members considering that I was also exposing myself to the evil virus. 

While everyone was trying to handle the pandemic in his/her own way, I was things about the only one moral from my class 6th story of Old Tirumala which enunciates the moral fibre that “EVERY THING HAPPENS FOR OUR OWN GOOD”. I was wondering whether there was any one who was benefitting from this crisis. And the answer was lying in the below gif.

 

THE MOTHER NATURE WAS HEALING .

Lockdown diaries- The Covid Scare

Lockdown was implemented in the whole country to contain the spread of Covid 19. Our state or union territory is no different. But being the financial warrior, we had to be at the front fighting the deadly pandemic while serving our customer. We have also faced the brutality of this deadly pandemic with so many bankers losing life. Though every banker is cautiously treading through these difficult times, there were near miss incidents which every banker could have faced. Let me narrate an incident that happening during the lockdown which involved our own staff. It was Monday evening when I had just stepped into my room after day’s labour. I had just taken my evening bath when my phone started ringing. I was surprised to see a call from one of my lady colleagues because usually after the office time no calls take place. Within few minutes, another call came in and this time it was from my service manager. “Sir, Where are you?” He was quite subtle in his demeanour. With utter calmness,...

Respect her!!!

The time of Corona has brought in it the lockdown. Lockdown is the state of affairs when the whole world comes to stand still. Any change would carry with it the innate quality of inviting criticism both for and against it . Lockdown is no different. There may be people who are favouring lockdown while as there is a subset of our population which are against it too. My analysis is it happened for our good and we all need to bear this adventure. The best part of lockdown for me has been that the public broadcasting of the two mythological epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. Both these epics represent the ethos of Indian civilisation and how the Indian civilisation has evolved over the time. While the positives of the epics circulate through the veins and arteries of the nation, one aspect has been showing the ladies as sheer objectification. The epics have given a great moral to us    which invokes us to respect the women folk. These epics are really significant in the current d...
